The influence of grain crushing and pore collapse on the formation of faults
N. A. Collins-Craft, I. Stefanou, J. Sulem +1
During an earthquake, slip occurs in a localised shear zone that features a heavily granulated fault core that can be characterised as a shear band. We study the formation of this…

Measurement, self-similarity, and TNT equivalence of blasts from exploding wires
Ahmad Morsel, Filippo Masi, Panagiotis Kotronis +1
Reduced-scale experiments offer a controlled and safe environment for studying the effects of blasts on structures. Traditionally, these experiments rely on the detonation of solid…

A POD-TANN approach for the multiscale modeling of materials and macroelement derivation in geomechanics
Giovanni Piunno, Ioannis Stefanou, Cristina Jommi
This paper introduces a novel approach that combines Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) with Thermodynamics-based Artificial Neural Networks (TANN) to capture the macroscopic be…
